Title: Method of producing an elastomer blend that is similar to thermoplastic elastomers, on the basis of reclaimed rubber or waste rubber
Inventor: SCHOLZ HENRIK
IPC: C08J11/00
Filed: 2000-05-17
Granted: 2005-09-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing an elastomer blend that is similar to thermoplastic elastomers on the basis of reclaimed rubber or waste rubber. According to this method, reclaim ed rubber or waste rubber that has been reduced to powdered rubber is processed to compounds by subjecting it to a melt-mining process in a mixer together with a thermoplastic material and at least one stabilizer in different weight percentages. The ai m of the invention is to improve this method so that a mixture that consists of two phases that are usually incompatible, namely the powder ed rubber and a thermoplastic material, is processed to a blend that is characterized by the properties of thermoplastic elastomers. Said blend should have a constant quality, should be reproducible and repeatedly recyclable and the method should allow the conversion in a melt-mining process over a relatively short mixing period by choosing suitable materials for the thermoplastic constituent and other additives. To this end, at least one polypropylene copolymer or a mixture thereof with at least one polypropylene type is melted in the mixer and powdered rubber, at least part of which has been pre-swelled in a radical donor, is dosed to the melt. The powdered rubber is dispersed in the plastic matrix by applying high shearing strains and admixing radical-forming agents in order to couple the two phases that consist of the powdered rubber and the polypropylene copolymer or a mixture thereof in accordance with defined mixing parameters. The dynamic stabilization process is carried out at a temperature of the mixture that is above the melt temperature of the polypropylene copolymer or the mixture thereof but below the decomposition temperature of the powder ed rubber and over a mixing period that allows the reaction of the radical former.

Title: Method for forming a short-radius bend in flanged sheet metal member
Inventor: LEEK WILLIAM F
IPC: B21D5/02
Filed: 2000-03-10
Granted: 2008-06-03
Abstract: One or more closed perimeter openings (6;  106) are formed in the compression area of a flange (8) of a member (1) that is to be bent transversely to the flange (8). The member is bent along a transverse bend line (14), and the flanges (8; 108) are bent inwardly on themselves.  The bending of the member along the transverse bend line (14) is done with a great force, and because portions of the side flanges are supported on their distal and proximal side (10, 11; 110, 111), the material of the side flanges (8, 108) in the compression area plasticizes and flows into the closed perimeter opening (6; 106), causing them to deform. Because the closed perimeter opening or openings (6; 106) are present, the side flanges (8;  108) are compressed in a more controlled manner, reducing cracking, wrinkling and thinning during the bending of the member (1) along the transverse bend line (14).
